So i have been going through and reconciling and posting versions and trying to clean them up. As i have been doing this noticed  that a lot (well all my versions) say the "Blocking Is: True" and i cant figure out why but i do know its interfering with my ability to reconcile and post back to DEFAULT  I looked through my notes from the classes i took and also for documentation online but can really find anything. Can anyone help point me the right direction to better understand what causing my versions to be blocking and what i can do to fix it?  Thanks ... View more

So i think i made a mistake and went to long with reconciling my QA version with its parent DEFAULT version. I say this because I started the reconcile process on a friday afternoon and its now Monday and it is still going on, luckily no errors.  This reconcile is taking place outside of an edit session and is being handled in ArcCatalog via Administer Geodatabase  So my question is what do i do?  Do  i just let it keep running till it finishes and learn my lesson. Or is there something else i can do? Thanks  ... View more

So i am playing around with using Collector for inspections of stormwater drain inlets. Due lack of 3G/4G capability on our ipads we have to relay on the WiFi signal, which in certain areas will drop out on you,  meaning you can not update any features so to get around this we have been working in offline mode. So far this has been fine however one of the staff had a request that there be a way to see which inlets have been inspected. I first tried using,  "Unique values, many fields" to symbolize based on the storm inlet type and inspected (y/n) fields but that dosent work. So next i tried using multiple layers, one for each storm inlet type but then i ran in to the "multiple layers are referencing..." error when i tried to take it offline. so then i tried using a definition query to hide storm inlets that been inspected and this works in the fact that i can get it offline but when they change the field to inspected (y/n) to a "Yes" it doesnt update on the map. Since it seems the only way i am going to get this to work is using a def query to hide inspected features how can i set it up correctly? I have tried publishing a feature service with the def query on the layer and setting the def query in the map in AGOL but neither seem to work/ Any advice? ... View more
